Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We like this hotel. Helpful staff, good facilities. Nice property. We would stay here again.
The staff abs service were great. My only issue was the shower, it doesn't have a lip so the water runs into the middle of the bathroom, but there were plenty of towels, so, not a big deal.
